done in New York city instead of Albany.

the Everett House were practically de-
serted during the day. At the Fifth
Avenue Hotel Senator Miller remained In
his room the greater part OF the day busy
with his correspondence. He was visited
by number OF his friends. MIR. Miller said
tie contest for the Senatorship was not
weighing on him in the last, as he fully
expected to be reelected.
Speaking of Olenmargarine, Senator
Miller said that he did not care how much
his opponents tried TO make out thai the
United States law was a failure The

beginning to inquire whether or not MIR.

licenses had been taken out in the entire
